I am a Watchmen fanatic. I just decided that it would be better to come right out and say it, get it out in the open. I first read the Graphic Novel (one of the most celebrated graphic novels of all time, by the way) when I was 14. In the years since then, I’ve…

Ramchand Pakistani – DVD Re-View
“If you liked Slumdog Millionaire, you’ll love Ramchand Pakistani.” That’s what I’ve been told, many times since I’ve seen Slumdog. Now, I’ll readily admit that I’m not a big fan of foreign films. I’ve seen some, and my tendency has been to see more of the European area foreign films rather than the Middle-Eastern…
The International – Review
A compelling espionage film that succeeds in exposing an untapped enemy in the war for global domination, however fails to provide the riveting atmosphere you’d expect from an action film…
Memento – DVD Re-View
Memento is a beautiful, brilliant, yet confusing story that is a must see for anyone and everyone. The film chronicles two separate stories of Leonard, an ex-insurance investigator who can no longer build new memories, as he attempts to find the murderer of his wife, which is the last thing he remembers. One story line moves forward in time while the other tells the story backwards revealing more each time.
The Listening – DVD Re-View

Taken – Review
Taken, actually premiered in France way back in February 2008 and has already made over 66mil worldwide. Not surprising as the film takes place mainly in France. I was pleasantly surprised by Neeson’s performance as he actually pulls off his biggest action role since Batman Begins.
The Legend of God’s Gun – DVD Re-View
What stands out about this film is the surreal music, style and authenticity the band totally pulls off as a grindhouse spaghetti western. The film really captures the 60’s genre look and themes right down to the psychedelic pot smoking, and classic western rock music. It took me a few minutes to adjust myself to this film, but once I did it felt like I was truly watching an old 60’s style grindhouse movie…
Slumdog Millionaire – Review
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE is an intense graphic love story that is at times hard to believe as well as behold. The film depicts the slums of Mumbai India in a way that is visually stunning at the same time horrific and deplorable.
MILK – Review
Milk is the true story of Harvey Milk’s crusade for gay rights, and his rise to becoming the first openly gay politician in California history. Now being an openly straight guy, I have to tell you that the love scenes in this film are graphic and somewhat awkward to watch. (Warning), if this sort of acting bothers you, you should avoid this film.
